How much do costume lenses cost?
If you think that theatrical costume lenses are very expensive,
you might be pleasantly surprised - you can pick up an exciting
looking pare of Halloween costume lenses for about 40 dollars.
Mass produced lenses like Crazy Lenses and Wild Eyes are very
affordable. You can save even more if you order them online.
On the other hand, hand-painted, custom-made costume lenses
could cost a few hundreds of dollars. Particulary expensive are
scleral costume lenses, which cover not only your pupil and
iris, but the entire visible area of your eye. Also, custom-made
lenses are usually painted to order, so you would need to order
them several weeks in advance.
How to care for your Halloween costume lenses
Caring for your Halloween costume contacts is quite simple - all
you need is a no-rub multipurpose solution, a pair of plastic
tweezers and a contact lens case. You can get it all from any
chemist shop. There is no special solution for costume contact
lenses so you can use any multipurpose solution - only make sure
it's marked "for soft contact lenses". If you have several pairs
of scary contacts, each should live in its own case.
Step by step care for costume lenses:
- always wash your hands with soap before handling
contact lenses
- pick up the lens gently with tweezers
(be careful not to tear it), place it on your fingertip and
rinse it with a no-rub contact lens solution
- now it is
ready to put in your eye
- after taking your costume
lenses out, give them another rinse and place them in their case
with fresh solution, until the next time you use them.
If you are not planning to wear your lenses for several weeks,
it is recommended that you change the solution and rinse them
once a week. If you forgot to do so and your lenses spent a few
weeks in their case unattended, give them a double rinse and
place them in fresh solution for at least a couple hours before
wearing them.
For people who wear corrective or color contact lenses every
day, costume lenses will feel pretty much the same as usual. If
you never wore contact lenses before, at first you might feel a
slight discomfort and an urge to rub your eye. One suggestion is
to use lubricant drops, which you can buy from any chemist shop.
Also, start wearing your lenses a few days before the party - a
couple of hours the first day, 3-4 hours the second day, and so
on.

be the center of attention at any party!
